Stop making your developers design your product

As a developer, I&#x27;m only too aware of my limitations in the design-world. Give me requirements, and I&#x27;ll make it work.<p>If I&#x27;m left to guess at what you want, it&#x27;ll be a waste of time because you&#x27;re not happy with my interpretation in many cases.<p>Respect me as a developer by doing your homework and telling me what you need (please!).

I disagree completely with this article. I think designing is intertwined with development and you can&#x27;t have one without the other.<p>If anything, developers should take a more active role in learning about how to incorporate modern design standards into their code.

I think word &quot;design&quot; is a bit overloaded here. There is a difference between what &quot;design&quot; is for designers (like Jonathan Ive) vs that for the developers&#x2F;engineers. I am guessing what article is saying is the former one.<p>Having said that the line is far more blur than what the article is saying.

&quot;Developers, of course, have fewer skills and experience designing. And they didn&#x27;t take part in the research process&quot;<p>Well then, include them in it...
